Payneham Oval Clubrooms Upgrade

The upgrade to the Payneham Oval clubrooms will be undertaken as part of Stage 2 of the redevelopment of the Payneham Oval Complex, following the Stage 1 completion of the new playground in August 2015.

Implementation of the Felixstow Reserve Masterplan

Cost: $3,600,000

In 2015, the Council undertook a Masterplan for Felixstow Reserve which incorporated two stages for the redevelopment of the site. The first stage of the project was the establishment of wetlands within the Felixstow Reserve, which were completed in late 2017. This project was undertaken as part of the Eastern Region Alliance (ERA) Waterproofing Eastern Adelaide Stormwater Harvesting and Re-Use Project.


Construction of the second stage of the remainder of the Felixstow Reserve Redevelopment commenced in late January 2018 and is being undertaken by LCS Landscapes. The detailed design of the Redevelopment was prepared by a multi-disciplinary design team led by ASPECT Studios, who translated the Masterplan ideas into detail designs, including large open grassed areas, an active play space, natural play, walking trails, a shared path and increased tree planting. It is anticipated that the Felixstow Reserve Redevelopment will be completed by July 2018.

Beulah Road Bicycle Boulevard

Cost: $1,000,000

One of the priority infrastructure actions arising from the Council’s City-wide Cycling Plan is the development of a Bicycle Boulevard along Beulah Road, Norwood, between Portrush Road and Fullarton Road.

Beulah Road is the first Bicycle Boulevard to be progressed in the City of Norwood Payneham & St Peters. This is a priority route used by cyclists and aligns with adjoining Councils priorities for cycling accessibility and State Government objectives for connectivity and safety for cyclists in the east.

The intent of this major project is to enhance Beulah Road as a safer and more attractive cycling route than along the parallel arterial roads of The Parade or Magill Road, whilst maintaining existing accessibility and car parking for motorists.

The Final Design Concept, which was amended to address the comments and feedback which resulted from the community consultation, was endorsed by the Council at its 6 June meeting.

The Council has allocated $500,000 in its 2016-2017 Budget for the implementation of the Project and has applied for external funding from the State Government’s Greenways and Bicycle Boulevard Fund.

Waterproofing Eastern Adelaide Project

21/10/2015

The Eastern Regional Alliance (ERA) Waterproofing Eastern Adelaide Stormwater Harvesting and Re-Use Project, is a significant multi-million dollar regional stormwater harvesting and reuse Project.

The Project is being undertaken in partnership by three of the Eastern Regional Alliance (ERA) Councils, which includes the City of Norwood Payneham & St Peters, Town of Walkerville and City of Burnside.

The Project is funded by ERA with assistance from the Australian Federal Government, through the National Urban Water and Desalination Plan and the Adelaide & Mount Lofty Ranges Natural Resources Management Board, which assisted the Councils in the initial stages and continues to be an integral contributor to the Project.


Project objective

The key objective of the Project is to harvest and reuse stormwater for irrigation. Stormwater will be harvested and treated during winter and stored in underground aquifers, then recovered for use in summer for irrigating public reserves across the partnering Council areas.

This exciting initiative will reduce the City of Norwood Payneham & St Peters reliance on mains water and its reliance on water from the River Murray and enhance the quality of the water that is discharged to The Gulf.

Crucial to the successful operation of the harvesting and reuse scheme, is the provision of water treatment sites. One such site is proposed to be located in the City of Norwood Payneham & St Peters at Felixstow Reserve. This site will require the placement of a wetland within Felixstow Reserve.


Felixstow Reserve Masterplan Project

Given the size of the proposed wetland and significant financial investment that would be required, the Council has taken the opportunity to concurrently undertake a Masterplan for Felixstow Reserve. This will ensure that the proposed wetland is integrated into the overall design to redevelop Felixstow Reserve and that an innovative and well-designed outcome for the Reserve is achieved.
